Hi Ann, I agree some additional tutorial material from us would be really useful. However, in the mean time there is some superb third party stuff out there. For those wanting to get to know the BrailleNote at a basic level, I would highly recommend looking at the following excellent set of tutorials. http://cat.buffalo.edu/refreshablebraille/training.php Jonathan Mosen BrailleNote Product Marketing Manager HumanWare

The material that is currently on the BrailleNote is a manual. It is not a tutorial. It outlines the product, its features and its commands. However, it is not a guide for learning the BN as it stands now. What K.C. wants is to have each feature of the BrailleNote explained in small steps with an evaluative tool added so that she can track her progress. <smile> This would actually be of great help not only to those who are deaf-blind but to others as well. Having taught a few students to use the BN recently, I found myself in need of this type of aid for teaching. The menus of the BN are intuitive for those of us who know computers, and they can be learned easily by others, but if the process were formalized, it might make learning easier for others. It's all in how you define the words, Richard. What you mean when you say tutorial may not be what I mean at all. So, all this hoodoo is raging cuz folks haven't sat down and said, OK, let's define what we're really talking about here. <smiling> Ann P. -- Ann K.
